Jahia 6.0 Beta released


More informations about this release can be found in the readme:

Jahia v6.0 beta "Read me"

I think to most valuable changes are:
  • JCR: DMS backup built on top of Jackrabbit with the possibilities to connect to third-party repositories (SMB and FTP announced, more can be added)
  • Google Webtoolkit integration: unification of all the Jahia 5.0 AJAX frameworks used, support for Widgets and Google gadgets
  • Portlets 2.0: Jetspeed and Pluto have been replaced by Pluto 2.0
  • New templates architecture: Defintion and presentation are finally separated. The template definition is now supporting the Compact Namespace and Node Type Definition (CND) from JCR specifications (including inheritence and mixin types)
  • And many more ...

There are others big changes:
I hope this new version will help us to develop more quickly while supporting more and more standards (JSR170/283 , JSR-168/286, and many more)

Some tests, howto, tips and tricks will be published on this blog soon...
